Privacy

Protecting Privacy Rights in a Digital World

In today’s technology-driven society, personal data powers decisions that shape every aspect of our lives—from employment to housing to healthcare. While these advances can improve convenience and connectivity, they also pose significant risks, particularly for underrepresented communities. /http/ is committed to ensuring that privacy protections are robust, equitable, and uphold civil rights in a rapidly evolving digital ecosystem.

  • Privacy is a fundamental right, but underrepresented communities often face disproportionate risks from data misuse. Discriminatory data practices can limit opportunities in critical areas like housing, credit, and employment, unfairly targeting individuals based on protected characteristics such as race, age, gender, or disability.

    Additionally, widespread data breaches and surveillance practices increase the vulnerability of marginalized communities, threatening economic and personal security. Without strong privacy protections, individuals risk losing control over their personal information.

    /http/ advocates for comprehensive national privacy standards to safeguard consumer rights and promote transparency. These protections must ensure that individuals own their data and are shielded from discriminatory practices that exacerbate inequality.

  • Our hub features resources from /http/, the Community Impact Council, and Corporate Partnership Council members to keep you informed about privacy issues and their impact on underrepresented communities. These materials focus on critical policy challenges, education, and advocacy resources to empower you to take action.
